The events portrayed in Donnie Brasco are loosely based around the true-story of Special Agent Joe Pistone and his six-year long undercover stint in one of the Mafia families of New York. The film documents the effects of the mission on Pistone's secret family life and his own personal psyche as he develops split loyalties between his FBI obligations and the new acquaintances he develops in the fa... read more

By far one of the best if not the best mob/gangster movie I have seen. Based on a true story this film is absolutely brilliant.

It tells the true story of Joseph D. Pistone, an FBI agent who goes undercover as Donnie Brasco to find information on an aging hitman 'Lefty' and his gang. The information found out by Joseph was amazing and led to many convictions. But after a while Josep... read more

Mike Newell, the director of the greatest Harry Potter installment, directed this great, a little on the short, gangster-drama, or grama, movie.

Forget about it!" You know? But then, it's also like if something's the greatest thing in the world, like, "Minghia! Those peppers! Forget about it!" But it's also like saying "Go to hell!" too. Like, you know, like "Hey Paulie, you got a one-inch pecker?" an"

“Donnie Brasco is an interesting bit of undercover cop drama, in that the undercover cop begins to feel empathy, friendship, and develop a strong bond with his new mentor in the mafia. The fun is in watching our undercover cop struggling valiantly with his allegiance, trying to decide to stick with his missions or help out his new friend.

While watching Donnie Brasco I was reminded of what a great actor Johnny Depp used to be, before he decided to hide behind increasingly deranged makeups and giving kooky readings instead of truly inhabiting and developing a character. I miss this Depp, who could pick strange projects or characters, but imbue them with an inner life. And it’s great to watch him slowly transition from interloper to inside man to conflicted friend.
